Record confirms

TDLR lists DFW37 in Garland as a $120 million, 410,000-square-foot facility with six 8 MW data halls and supporting infrastructure.

Why this matters

Watch next

Construction completion, utility energization, TCEQ generator permits, local tax records, emergency response and tenant activity.

Public question

When will the halls energize, and what operating permits, utility upgrades and local public commitments apply?

Possible local levers
